It's Verisign's return shot at the web browser "couldn't find this page" searches. Doesn't seem to have much by way of advertising yet, but I'm sure that'll change. I heard about this coming from somewhere last week, though I don't recall where. Probably Wired or the WSJ. Verisign wants the revenue that all those typos are generating. It's just the next shot in the eyeball war. Tim Wilde -- Tim Wilde twilde () dyndns org Systems Administrator Dynamic DNS Network Services http://www.dyndns.org/
